Kyrgyzstan Passport Photo — 4×6 cm, White Background
Kyrgyz passports are handled through the consular service of Kyrgyz embassies abroad. This page follows the embassy line — the consular passport instructions of the Embassy of the Kyrgyz Republic to the USA and Canada. Note the unusual size: 4×6 cm, not the more common 35×45 mm. Verified against the embassy page, October 2026.
The 15-second answer
The photo is 4 × 6 cm on a plain white background, supplied as six colour glossy prints. You must not wear a head covering or glasses. Head-height proportion, pixels and DPI are not published by the official source, so this page does not state them.

Photo age — please read
This page follows the embassy consular instructions as archived on 2 August 2010. Photo-size rules can change, and the source is an archive rather than a current page, so treat the details here as the published embassy line and confirm them with the current embassy or consular office before you print.
Preparing the print
Because the size is 4×6 cm rather than the usual millimetres, check the figure carefully before printing. Use the print sheet to lay out the correct size, sanity-check the file with the passport photo checker, and see the at-home photo guide and the rejection reasons guide. Other formats are on the photo size chart, and the validity rules are in the validity guide.
